Description

How to accomplish effective architecture work in agile teams and projects

Integrate agile principles into your architecture work. Create a dynamic architecture that develops in an evolutionary way and strengthens team collaboration.

Architectures are increasingly developed in autonomous teams, and the technical, conceptual responsibility is more widely spread in modern organizations. Architectural concepts must dynamically adjust to the situations, and technological change should take place continuously and incrementally – in other words evolutionarily. New skills are therefore demanded of developers and architects encompassing not only technical but also methodological and communicative aspects.

Experience in this training course how agile principles and ideas can be transferred to architectural work and how you can logically and efficiently enshrine architectural practices into agile approaches.

Agenda

  • Introduction to agility: between hype, cargo cult, and pragmatic innovation

  • Architecture and agility: methodological principles of architectural work for an agile world

  • The architectural vision: the counter-model to big upfront design (BUFD)

  • Risk-oriented approach: iterative architectural configuration and ideas for prioritization

  • Architecture in the backlog: enshrining drivers of architecture in epics and stories

  • Qualitative tests: inspection and test of qualitative system properties

  • Architectural debt: dealing with technical debt at the architectural level

  • Architectural principles: unifying perspectives without constraining responsibility

  • Group decisions: models for efficient, joint consensus-building

  • The agile architect: modern role models for architects

  • Governance 2.0: agile scaling and architecture

  • Evolutionary architecture: agile development of systems and system landscapes

Your Benefits

Methods, practical techniques, and helpful perspectives are brought alive during the training

Goal orientation and pragmatism for your projects

Promotes a common image of an architectural discipline oriented around influences from lean management and well embedded in agile projects

Apply agile principles and ideas to architectural work

Audience

This training is aimed above all at developers and architects who want to enshrine effective architectural work in agile teams and larger projects. Technical project managers and product owners will also receive valuable inspiration. Practical experience in the design and development of systems as well as an agile context in your work environment is advantageous.

Architecture and Agility with Stefan Toth - Software Architecture in the Stream

Architecture is stable, software development is agile - there are constantly new requirements and new sprints with new plans. How do these two worlds fit together? In this episode Stefan Toth discusses these and other questions about agility and architecture - from team to company level. Youtube

Agile Architektur (Architektur-Spicker Nr. 6)

Softwarearchitektur wird in agilen Kontexten dynamischer, kleinteiliger, verteilter. Agile Denkweise bringt Cross-Funkionalität, Iterativität und Flexibiltät. Dadurch verändert sich die Architekturdisziplin. In großen Entwicklungsvorhaben sind Kommunikation und ad-hoc Entscheidungen schwieriger. Wie ist agile Architekturarbeit hier sinnvoll möglich? Die 6. Ausgabe unseres Architektur-Spickers fasst die wichtigsten Aspekte zusammen. Download & Infos
